Carwash owners Shelly Phillips and Cindi Sanders managed to increase carwash sales by knowing the needs of their community and adding unique services to their “Wash Me” carwash.

Phillips said the company has more purpose than just clean cars.

“No one paid attention to what this community needed,” Phillips said.

She realized there are many people in the community who have fixed incomes. She wanted to make sure Wash Me offered a range of packages and prices for those who want to spend a little or a lot.

One way of doing this is offering oil change services. “We’re kind of one-stop shopping for oil changes and car washes,” said Phillips. And they wanted the services to be available seven days a week. [more...]

When Wash Me first opened in 2005, Shelly and Cindi washed the cars by hand. But as their business continued to grow, the invested almost $1 million dollars and acquired a new conveyor wash system from Ryko. Phillips and Sandars hope to open new washes in the future.
